should Greytown school have extra curriculum activities such as music dance drama and sports?
....
WHAT I THINK:
I don’t think so because it will take the children out of there learning then instead of doing dance and sports and music and the teachers get payed for getting the laptops and instead they just don’t use them and just but play with music and do dance and other stuff and they wont be able to learn math and reading and all the proper school stuff there just doing music and they can do music in a session. But whats more important is the maths and the reading and the other stuff but maybe they could bring a work sheet home that said learn about music and dance and all the other stuff and when they are older they wont know how to use laptops and do maths and how to do recount but lucky Greytown school we do.

I was so happy we were almost home, I looked out of the helicopter window beside me,
seeing all the smoke and fire underneath the chopper I new we had won. Then we started to land. Yay I thought I would be able to see my friends again.That afternoon we had arrived we had lunch in the park and then we went to the mall for shopping!
But then it all changed.
I woke up with sore back and cramp, as soon as my eyes had opened I heard the driver yell “Mayday, Mayday! were going down” the alert button next to me was flashing red and white, I new this wasn’t a good sign,the chopper was out of control it almost felt like there was zero gravity,Then something unexpectedly tripped me up. I woke up, I could Smell all around me something was definitely wrong! I looked beside me my friend Simmons I thought was okay but as soon as I tryed to wake him up he rolled over, I looked at his pale white skin with tears running down my eyes.Every one around me was dead Iv got to get out of here I said to my self,As i was trying to get out of busted chopper I could smell gasoline, once I got out of the chopper I ran as fast as I could
a big explosion behind me made me trip over and land on the sand head first. Then I couldn’t breath and my shoulder was hurting and so I went to get some grass and then rap my arm in it and then started to be better.
I didn’t know were I was, some sort of deserted place in the middle of know where.
Luckily I had a compass in my pocket, so north must be that way but the compass was every were I think was busted from the sand, Oh man how am i gonna get out of this one I said out loud,but then in the distance was something shiny,sparkling in my eye
as it got closer i began to see it more clearly, a bird whats a bird doing all the way out here oh no the illusions are already started iv only spent a couple of hours out here, But then then it dropped something on my head a spoon in fact, I was so confused Ill just keep this just in case well the good thing is that i’m not delirious yet i muttered.
I was so tired the scorching hot sun was like as painful as a bullet going through my back I was lucky that I remembered to bring 2 bottles of water I said to myself but when I looked in my pack, they were in their but they were empty.
oh no both of my bottles were almost empty oh no I’m gonna die out here but as I wiped the tears of my nose I saw something else in the distance this time I definitely new I this was a mirage, but I ran to it anyway thinking at least in my dreams something good was happening, a big pool of cooling water I jumped in I was so happy to have water i was so thirsty, I filled up both of my drink bottles, but then it felt weird for a moment and then the oasis had gone, It was just angrily i said to my self,but then I looked behind me the oasis was right there how could i have missed it? i said to myself.So i filled up my drink my bottles up to the top once i had finished i stumbled across these t lovely looking mushrooms,as my hand went out to grab them someone said “hay don't grab me!” what oh no talking mushrooms not again, Wait maybe they can help me get out of here. “well you may not no it but the rescue helicopter is for as we speak so better keep your ears and eyes out”.
Doesn’t it ever rain here I yelled as hard as I could but all i could her was my echoing.As I was waking through the dessert I tripped of a rock that was planted in the ground oh great, sand in my eyes as I was was brushing the sand off my face I heard a little sound in the background I knew what it was it was the helicopter looking for me, even though I had no energy I still ran towards it I knew I was getting out of this nightmare as the paramedic’s were helping me on the helicopter I stumbled to my knees not knowing that I had blacked-out.
I woke up in a plain white bed I was in hospital there was a person sitting next to me
“your awake” a quit voice said Man I thought it was my dad but it was the doctor but I was just having a crazy dream “wait did all that actually happen” I asked, “yes you had a pretty rough time didn’t you” he replied. Wait! what do you mean?” well all these weird things happened to me in the desert”how weird”... yea, it was weird .
The Next day we left and then we got home with jetlag! and we slept all day long!
Then we got up and then we went shopping for food.
I was starving, yay food!!
It had felt like I hadn’t eating in a year all I could taste in my mouth was sand from the oasis.

Should I be allowed to design my bedroom the way i wont to ???
People should be able to have their bedrooms the way they want. Do you think Mr Andrew would like pink frilly curtains with teddy bears all around the room? This is the time were you have to stand up for your self and say to your parents that i am a (big boy or girl) and i need to have my room the way i wont it.
My room is a bit to babyish for me and i do not feel comfortable and warm in it. I feel in it i feel like a princess and i don’t wont to feel like a princess i wont to feel like a big girl do you get what i mean ? We don’t have teddy’s and baby dolls and ABC poster or C.D ‘s that sing Twinkle Twinkle little star and all the baby things, it just not right so now is the time to stop. Don’t you think ? Normal people get there room the way they want it, not the way their parents want it. It should be a warm fuzzy place where they feel safe. but kids are always saying can i get some cool things for my room and then they end up not getting it because there parents say NO and then the kids go but my room is dumb and boring. This is were you have to say to your parents that i have to grow up now and you need to stop acting like i am a baby and all this fairy stuff its just not right okay then they finally give in and they say so what do you wont in your room stars and then i say no that is what we just said no to okay draw a plan for us so we can say yes or no okay but no yuck stuff so there i right and draw and then i get the perfect plan and then you get the perfect room. But mum’s is always complaining do you wont your room changed round and then you have got to say okay so you change your room around and mum says here is a present its from me and your dad and you take it and you are so surprised and then it is just a boring old doll to play with and then you pull a face and say thanks. So then your room is back the way it was the way you wonted it.
This is the way i wont my room the way i wont it:
Pink and Black stripes with my name in 3D with a Pink bunk bed and heaps of photos around my room.
Hope you get your room the way you wont it.
This is some work we had to do in class and Molly and I finshed it and i hope you like it.

One day I was going to the beach to meet my friends and when I was walking along the beach I saw this old boat covered in moss and leaves and sand. As I walked around the boat I noticed a name on the side of a boat, as I rubbed off some of the sand I saw the words more clearly. It said the jolly roger. Minutes later my friends arrived and we went out for a smoothie and then I told them about this boat I found. I told them and they said lets see this boat of your’s. No no I said its not mine so we walked over to the boat and they said well why don’t we ask your dad to come and take a look and if he wants it we will take it home.

Mystery Writer Story
Rain. I wake up to hear it bucketing down on the roof. I turn over to look at my calender. It’s Friday the 13th.
My mate Bob and I have a weekly tradition. Every Friday we take to the seas in our little red catamaran. Even though it’s pelting down with rain, the boat is battered and the paint has been abraded by years of rough weather, Bob and I decide to proceed with our weekly tradition, as we believe our little red catamaran can battle the rain.
I gather my belongings and trudge along the cobblestone path. When I arrive at the beach, I am greeted by large, colossal waves smashing against the nearby dock. I can only just make out our little red catamaran, getting battered the waves. Bob is frantically trying to stop the catamaran getting swallowed by the out of control water. I can see he is already drenched through. I sprint towards him along the gloopy sand, my shoes sinking. Once we are both safely in the boat, we crack a drink and set off to sea.
We are now out far enough where the water is calmer and the storm has eased. We drop the sail and decide to sacrifice our sence and go for a dive deep down into the ocean. As my body enters the icy cold water, it sends a shiver up my spine. As I dive deeper something catches my eye. I swim closer and discover something that is leaving the sand unsettled. Its silver bolts that have a slight case of rust and the burnt colour of the chest create something quite out of the ordinary. A large padlock prevents me from opening the chest there and then, so Bob and I decide to go back to shore, collect the right gear and come back later.
Hours later, Bob and I are back in the little red catamaran, bobbing along the water. It’s hard to believe that just hours ago, the sea was heaving to and fro, as thought it were trying to imitate a some wild rocking horse. As we sail through the glass like sea, Bob and I decide that I will dive down to the chest, place the hook through the padlock and Bob will reel it up to the catamaran. Thankfully, because the water is so clear, we can see the chest sitting in the sand below us. As I dive down into the calm water, I am instantly relaxed. I hook the chest, give a tug on the rope and it starts to ascend. As we are now safely in the boat with the chest, we set off towards home. We heave the chest through my front door and collapse in the living room. Bob goes in search for a crow bar, running and jumping at the same time with happiness. He returns soon enough, bursting with excitement. We are both grinning with curiosity as we are so excited to see what is inside. The second we open the chest, our faces drop with disappointment. All the hard work we put in to retrieve the chest simply goes down the drain as we discover the contents. Rocks. Stupid, pointy, worthless, rocks. That is all the chest contains.
It is now twilight, and Bob and I are laying on our deck chairs looking out towards the beach. The waves are calm and the sky is a swirl of abstract colours.
“Man, this day has been full of bad luck, don’t you think Bob?” I enquire. “Yes, but after all, it is Friday the 13th. I guess this day had always been destined for bad luck!”

as it got closer i began to see it more clearly, a bird whats a bird doing all the way out here oh no the illusions are already started iv only spent a couple of hours out here, But then then it dropped something on my head a spoon in fact, I was so confused Ill just keep this just in case well the good thing is that i’m not delirious yet i muttered.
I was so tired the scorching hot sun was like as painful as a bullet going through my back I was lucky that I remembered to bring 2 bottles of water I said to myself but when I looked in my pack, they were in their but they were empty.
oh no both of my bottles were almost empty oh no I’m gonna die out here but as I wiped the tears of my nose I saw something else in the distance this time I definitely new I this was a mirage, but I ran to it anyway thinking at least in my dreams something good was happening, a big pool of cooling water I jumped in I was so happy to have water i was so thirsty, I filled up both of my drink bottles, but then it felt weird for a moment and then the oasis had gone, It was just angrily i said to my self,but then I looked behind me the oasis was right there how could i have missed it? i said to myself.So i filled up my drink my bottles up to the top once i had finished i stumbled across these t lovely looking mushrooms,as my hand went out to grab them someone said “hay don't grab me!” what oh no talking mushrooms not again, Wait maybe they can help me get out of here. “well you may not no it but the rescue helicopter is for as we speak so better keep your ears and eyes out”.
Doesn’t it ever rain here I yelled as hard as I could but all i could her was my echoing.As I was waking through the dessert I tripped of a rock that was planted in the ground oh great, sand in my eyes as I was was brushing the sand off my face I heard a little sound in the background I knew what it was it was the helicopter looking for me, even though I had no energy I still ran towards it I knew I was getting out of this nightmare as the paramedic’s were helping me on the helicopter I stumbled to my knees not knowing that I had blacked-out.
I woke up in a plain white bed I was in hospital there was a person sitting next to me
“your awake” a quit voice said Man I thought it was my dad but it was the doctor but I was just having a crazy dream “wait did all that actually happen” I asked, “yes you had a pretty rough time didn’t you” he replied. Wait! what do you mean?” well all these weird things happened to me in the desert”how weird”... yea, it was weird .
The Next day we left and then we got home with jetlag! and we slept all day long!
Then we got up and then we went shopping for food.
I was starving, yay food!!
It had felt like I hadn’t eating in a year all I could taste in my mouth was sand from the oasis.

Should I be allowed to design my bedroom the way i wont to ???
People should be able to have their bedrooms the way they want. Do you think Mr Andrew would like pink frilly curtains with teddy bears all around the room? This is the time were you have to stand up for your self and say to your parents that i am a (big boy or girl) and i need to have my room the way i wont it.
My room is a bit to babyish for me and i do not feel comfortable and warm in it. I feel in it i feel like a princess and i don’t wont to feel like a princess i wont to feel like a big girl do you get what i mean ? We don’t have teddy’s and baby dolls and ABC poster or C.D ‘s that sing Twinkle Twinkle little star and all the baby things, it just not right so now is the time to stop. Don’t you think ? Normal people get there room the way they want it, not the way their parents want it. It should be a warm fuzzy place where they feel safe. but kids are always saying can i get some cool things for my room and then they end up not getting it because there parents say NO and then the kids go but my room is dumb and boring. This is were you have to say to your parents that i have to grow up now and you need to stop acting like i am a baby and all this fairy stuff its just not right okay then they finally give in and they say so what do you wont in your room stars and then i say no that is what we just said no to okay draw a plan for us so we can say yes or no okay but no yuck stuff so there i right and draw and then i get the perfect plan and then you get the perfect room. But mum’s is always complaining do you wont your room changed round and then you have got to say okay so you change your room around and mum says here is a present its from me and your dad and you take it and you are so surprised and then it is just a boring old doll to play with and then you pull a face and say thanks. So then your room is back the way it was the way you wonted it.
This is the way i wont my room the way i wont it:
Pink and Black stripes with my name in 3D with a Pink bunk bed and heaps of photos around my room.
Hope you get your room the way you wont it.

Mystery Writer Story
Rain. I wake up to hear it bucketing down on the roof. I turn over to look at my calender. It’s Friday the 13th.
My mate Bob and I have a weekly tradition. Every Friday we take to the seas in our little red catamaran. Even though it’s pelting down with rain, the boat is battered and the paint has been abraded by years of rough weather, Bob and I decide to proceed with our weekly tradition, as we believe our little red catamaran can battle the rain.
I gather my belongings and trudge along the cobblestone path. When I arrive at the beach, I am greeted by large, colossal waves smashing against the nearby dock. I can only just make out our little red catamaran, getting battered the waves. Bob is frantically trying to stop the catamaran getting swallowed by the out of control water. I can see he is already drenched through. I sprint towards him along the gloopy sand, my shoes sinking. Once we are both safely in the boat, we crack a drink and set off to sea.
We are now out far enough where the water is calmer and the storm has eased. We drop the sail and decide to sacrifice our sence and go for a dive deep down into the ocean. As my body enters the icy cold water, it sends a shiver up my spine. As I dive deeper something catches my eye. I swim closer and discover something that is leaving the sand unsettled. Its silver bolts that have a slight case of rust and the burnt colour of the chest create something quite out of the ordinary. A large padlock prevents me from opening the chest there and then, so Bob and I decide to go back to shore, collect the right gear and come back later.
Hours later, Bob and I are back in the little red catamaran, bobbing along the water. It’s hard to believe that just hours ago, the sea was heaving to and fro, as thought it were trying to imitate a some wild rocking horse. As we sail through the glass like sea, Bob and I decide that I will dive down to the chest, place the hook through the padlock and Bob will reel it up to the catamaran.
Thankfully, because the water is so clear, we can see the chest sitting in the sand below us. As I dive down into the calm water, I am instantly relaxed.
I hook the chest, give a tug on the rope and it starts to ascend. As we are now safely in the boat with the chest, we set off towards home.
We heave the chest through my front door and collapse in the living room. Bob goes in search for a crow bar, running and jumping at the same time with happiness. He returns soon enough, bursting with excitement. We are both grinning with curiosity as we are so excited to see what is inside. The second we open the chest, our faces drop with disappointment. All the hard work we put in to retrieve the chest simply goes down the drain as we discover the contents. Rocks. Stupid, pointy, worthless, rocks. That is all the chest contains.
It is now twilight, and Bob and I are laying on our deck chairs looking out towards the beach. The waves are calm and the sky is a swirl of abstract colours.
“Man, this day has been full of bad luck, don’t you think Bob?” I enquire.
“Yes, but after all, it is Friday the 13th. I guess this day had always been destined for bad luck!”
